What the hell, I got 0 thanks to all the brand bias. I didn't see anything about carrying trad gear at the sport area under "Unnecessary Gear". Did I miss it? I think you're giving the EB's and Fires too much weight. I could walk over to my bosses house and buy them and it'd put me in the more knowledgeable than you category. Definately some good indicators but could still use some revisement. I wish I had those indicators when I started climbing.

Crap and I was hoping I'd never be a noob again2 belay devices and my Silent Partner, a Purcell Prussik, tripled trad draws, my bittersweet crash pad and a beanie. Let's not forget the set of tricams as well

The assumption was that if you carry surplus army gear you must be ex-military. When in fact surplus military gear was all they had in the beginning of Yosemite climbing, but I guess this post is only read by those who do not value such history or even know of it...my bad...I shouldn't be surprised when it turns into a vet bashing thread...it's understandable based on the population I am speaking too...

Yeah damn Commies!!

Oh wait climbing history had a few of those...

Yeah damn pot smokers!!!

Oh wait...

Getting this back on track, how does some ganj factor into your rating of your prospective partner?

This is easy, if they show up and want a puff and say "I haven't done this since high school" +100

If they show up stoned, smoke some more and smoke the whole time, then there's no problem: +/- NA

You are supposed to actually take this quiz?! I had no idea that while I was out minding my own business climbing a rock... there was a group of fashionistas judging whether they thought that I was cool enough. Wow.

I'm surprised there aren't more hurt butts in this thread. But there's enough to keep me from thinking this site has gone into the Twilight Zone.

Souvenirs from HOUSEKEEPING! CURRY!! I'VE BEEN TO YOSEMITE!!!!11 I'd be genuinely impressed if you smoked some of the weed from the plane crash, though.

Thanks to Jay rehabbing me a few years ago (it started on our first crag trip when he called my Reverso a "Perverso"), I got a score of 15. That's owing to my leather shoes and Metolious "NoobTech" harness. 20 if you count my BD et. al. draws, but I haven't used them in years. Sometimes I carry a few in my pack for unforeseen A0 emergencies.

I am absolutely non-apologetic about the harness. It's cush. I'm skinny. I sit a lot.

You're also the hardest climber I know that hates it when the draws are pre-hung, and belays with an ATC. Total sport noob land for you, even if you crush everyone's projects.

helmet: yes, while belaying. (I know a girl who suffered brain damage from rockfall, a guy who got hit by a tree, and a girl recently got hit by a tree, all while belaying/chilling at rumney.) 10 points! and another 25, sometimes I wear it on the approach cuz I'm lazy. edit: oh SHIIII I forgot that sometimes I wear a helmet driving for chuckles. 100 points!

belay device: I only use a gri-gri for bringing up a second on multi-pitch, 10 points!

quickdraws: unfortunately I use petzl draws, but I feel like putting BD/WC carabiners on them should count for something.

rope bag: damn, metolius.

no stick clip: 10 points!

unnecessary equipment: sling girth hitched, and another locker for clipping, and a locker with a prussik! woohoo 30 points! although in honestly, what else are people using besides a PAS to rap off of routes?
